LePage’s announcement, revealed in a Friday interview with Boston radio host Howie Carr, came on the same day that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also endorsed the New York businessman for the presidency. LePage had previously backed Christie, who dropped out of the race on Feb. 10 after a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary.

Related Headlines

LePage’s endorsement came eight days before Maine’s Republican caucuses. The governor told Carr that he hopes Trump will visit the state before the caucuses, but said the Trump campaign hasn’t told him if a rally was planned.

The governor said he and Trump have a lot in common because they’re both businessmen, while Christie said the Republican front-runner is “the person who will go to Washington, D.C., and be able to absolutely turn the place around.”

In February, LePage had said he favored one of the governors running for the presidency, but “unfortunately, the American people are not going for a governor this time.”

The Republican presidential field at one time included eight current or former governors, but only Gov. John Kasich of Ohio remains in the field vying for the Republican nomination.

“The numbers just aren’t there” for Kasich, LePage told Carr.

Christie and LePage have had ties for several years. As head of the Republican Governor’s Association, Christie came to Maine frequently to campaign for LePage in the governor’s successful 2014 re-election effort, and then made Maine his first stop after announcing he was running for president in June.

Trump, Christie and LePage are all known for their blunt and controversial speaking styles.

“Donald Trump and Chris Christie are both a little shy, but I’ll work on them as we move forward,” LePage joked on Carr’s show. He later said. “Now I get to defend all the stuff (Trump) says.”

LePage hasn’t always viewed Trump favorably.

On Feb. 9, LePage told a Maine radio show that the next president should have experience in elective office, which Trump lacks.

“I do believe that the next president of the United States should be someone who has been tried and tested. And I think that any of the governors would do well for me,” LePage said on the George Hale-Ric Tyler Show on WVOM. “I’m not a big fan of Donald Trump, although he should give me a stipend or he should give me a bonus about starting this whole thing about being outspoken.”

The New Jersey governor also previously criticized Trump, having said that Trump didn’t have the temperament or experience to be president.

LePage told Carr that he and Christie have talked “off and on” since the New Jersey governor dropped his presidential bid. LePage said he talked to Christie on Thursday and “we planned it out” – apparently referring to Friday’s endorsements – but then said he was joking.

LePage also said that he had been scheduled to talk to Florida Gov. Jeb Bush last week, but Bush dropped out of the race after finishing a distant fourth in the South Carolina primary. LePage didn’t say if he was considering endorsing Bush, but Carr repeatedly pointed out that the Bush family had supported him, with Barbara Bush filming an ad for LePage late in the 2014 election.

CNN said Trump later called Carr’s show and said he was “really happy” to have the endorsements of LePage and Christie.

At the end of his interview with Carr, LePage said the presidential election could have an impact on his political future. Carr challenged LePage to say that he would run for the Senate seat currently held by Angus King, who will be up for re-election in 2018. LePage previously has hinted that he may run for the Senate, but he said Friday he would watch to see who wins the presidency before deciding.

Also on Friday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign released a list of his endorsements from Maine Republicans, including former state party chairman Charlie Webster, former state Senate President Kevin Raye and former House Speaker Robert Nutting.

Here we go again with the right wing alternative universe of sheer and utter delusion. Bush and his incompetent neocons exported thousands of factories, flattened wages, skyrocketed the debt, crashed the economy, and led us into the largest foreign policy blunder in modern history. Obama has had 72 straight months of job growth, restored the auto industry, replaced all the jobs lost under Bush’s horrid tenure, restored retirement portfolios, is producing more domestic energy than any time in history, has cut the annual deficit in half, and has restored our standing in the world. Trump is a cartoon character carnival barker who like the mega-bloviator who is LePage is an international joke and will be beaten to smithereens in the general election, and he will take your House and Senate candidates down with him. The Republican Party, once the great party of Lincoln, Ike, and Margaret Chase Smith, has become a JOKE. Bwahahahahaha…

Calling people ‘stupid’ who don’t agree with you or who don’t vote the way you do is not an argument. I could say: “If ‘stupid people’ weren’t allowed to vote, Trump would be losing and LePage would be back at Mardens.” But I won’t say that because it doesn’t persuade one to change one’s point of view one way or the other.

How come you never direct your comments to anticom for slitting on people and calling them stupid and inferior?

because of data that has come out that shows what trump supporters are. Sorry if an accurate description irritates you.”About a third are over the age of 65. Only 2% are younger than 30. Half
of his voters have a high-school diploma, but just 19% have a college
degree. Just over a third earn less than $50,000, while 11% make six
figures or more.” a number of psychologists and came up with three key sources of Mr Trump’s appeal.””We like people who talk big,” he writes. “We like people who tell us
that our problems are simple and easy to solve, even when they aren’t.
And we don’t like people who don’t look like us.”

Should we be expecting to hear about a wall going up along our boarder with Canada? Got’s to keep out all them there terrorist, welfare leeches, and Zika carrying misfits who’ll inflict the citizens of Maine with their illnesses at bay don’t cha know.

Patrick A. Turlo

Quotes below are from a Feb 26, 2016 CBC story by Chris Iorfida titled “Donald Trump has no interest in wall between Canada, U.S.”.

Trump said: “The problem with Canada, you’re talking about a massively long piece. You’re talking about a border that would be about four times longer. It would be very, very hard to do, and we – it is not our biggest problem. I don’t care what anyone says. It is not our big problem.” The CBC story pointed out Trump’s ‘math error’ regarding the length of Mexico’s border compared to Canada’s: “The U.S.-Mexico border is over 3,100 kilometres long. The border between Canada and the U.S. which features the 49th parallel comprises over 6,400 kilometres, with an additional 2,475 kilometres bordering Alaska.”

If I were Canadian, I’d be more concerned about President Trump selecting now-Governor LePage to be ambassador to Canada. To paraphrase Henny Youngman: “Take my governor. Please.”

Do people just not like trump because he’s not politicaly correct? Or because he says What’s on his mind? This country is what 20 trillion in debt.. unfortunately it all comes down to money and trump is the one who has the most knowledge in that department. So if people want to start building America back up its a pretty easy vote. Suck it up for the next 4 years and let’s see what a business man can do in office instead of someone who’s trying to please private interest groups.

Trump is a billionaire. I’d say he’s done alright.

Roland W. Bailey

His money was his father’s.

he got a million from his father to start with, If my old man gave me a million, i’d be richer than trump.. have a dose of reality with your coffee

yeah , ive heard people like you before, speaking from experience are we?

Why don’t you run for office seems like you have it all figured out. You must have some Harvard degree that’s gotten you somewhere.

no, laddie, I retired from a management job at 62 because i could afford to. I spend time at my home in central Maine and my beachfront home on one of the islands in Casco Bay and travel where ever like. My education has gotten me exactly where I want to be.

Dyingbreed

And I’m sure your parents didn’t help you along the way.

anticon

no, actually me and all of my siblings worked our way through college. My children did the same and grandchildren are in the process. None of us or they received a million to start with

Dyingbreed

I wasn’t suggesting you got a million to start with. My point was parents help out there kids to help make them successful. You can’t knock him because his father had the means to help him out. That’s what parents do. And hey congrats to you and your family sounds like you guys are hard working people. That’s what our country needs not stuff like obamacare.

anticon

why sure, its so much better to let people go bankrupt or die because they cant afford medical.

Dyingbreed

Well heck you an your family did it all on your own no help from anyone so seems like everyone should be able to.

Dyingbreed

See what I did there.. so what your saying is trump shouldn’t havnt gotten any help but everyone else should.

I wasn’t able to get the education you did….(I was one of them dumb kid… not college material) But, did retire at 51 and get to see the sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over the Gulf.. Also get to the beach each day during the winter months…

four freakin times.
Successful businessmen don’t file for bankruptcy protection.

You call that successful ?

Was there a point to that.. cause ah he’s still a billionaire.

Really? You minimize that list by pointing to Trump’s age and saying he’s done well by only having seven things “not go well for him”? What about all those people who attended his Trump University and got ripped off? I guess that’s cool because things just didn’t go well for them. He is being sued by the state attorney general for fraud. He cheated on his wives and has openly bragged about sleeping with married women. But, that’s cool too, right? Because fidelity in marriage and respect for another person’s spouse isn’t important in today’s society and certainly not something we should expect from our leaders. Smh…

Dyingbreed

You must have some inside info I don’t know about.

There seems to be a lot you don’t know about.
Maybe try researching before spouting off like you know something.

Dyingbreed

I never claimed to know alot about anything just voicing my opinion big guy.

Sara

Do some research and listen to a lot of different voices, including Trump himself (that is the most important). It really doesn’t take a huge effort to find how he contradicts himself on major issues and how he treats people differently from one day to the next, depending on how he feels about them.

CruiserSailor

Trump said it himself, “I love the poorly educated”. Nuff said?

Dyingbreed

What about all the people that went to the university and loved it.. there are always people who get upset cause it didn’t work for them.. college is the same thing you pay thousands to go that doesn’t mean when your done you’ll be rich. Cmon

Sara

How many “colleges” are sued for fraud by the state attorney general? If you actually take some time to look into it, you will discover that not only did Trump not fulfill his obligations to those who paid for his training, he also provided specific information to “students”as to how to scam their credit card companies into accepting the massive tuition fee ($35k) if it exceeded their credit limit. As far as cheating with married women, he wrote about that in his own book. This is the problem, dyingbreed. People are so sick of our politicians who have failed to live up to their promises and do right by this country that they are being led by their emotions, like a bull with a ring in its nose, and following a guy that has built his whole persona through reality tv and will do/say whatever he has to in order to achieve his goal. And that includes character assassination of good people, threatening, intimidation and abuse of power. I don’t care how big a wall he says he will build, his motives and ethics are far from pure and he will trample over anyone in his way. This is not the character of a man who will uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of all citizens.

Dyingbreed

And your trying to say all the other people running don’t do shady things.. if we were looking for a perfect person who did no wrong to be president we wouldn’t have one. We are talking about a guy who turned a million into billions.. imagine what he can do with trillions. Maybe just maybe turn things around. I’d be willing to lend him my money.

Sara

No candidate is perfect and nothing I said insinuated that. But there are far better candidates who have very strong conservative records (which is how he is trying to bill himself) who have not spent decades donating to democrats and paying off politicians in order to achieve his own personal/professional goals. He hadn’t been an elected official before but he is not new to the game and pure as the driven snow, as so many people seem to believe. He talks about self-funding but go to his website and you will see his donation button on the front page. Between that and all the free publicity the MSM has stupidly given him, he is simply manipulating the conversation. And how about how he treats people, dyingbreed? While i don’t buy into all the racist claims, he certainly has a long and documented history of treating women who reject his advances or report on him in less than a favorable light in an incredibly belittling and demeaning manner. He has no problem with trying to viciously destroy people personally and professionally and no other candidate inthe Republican field has demonstrated that kind of boorish and malicious behavior. So no, there aren’t any candidates who have a 100% perfect slate with no mistakes in their past but there are candidates who so far out-class Trump and have a conservative record to boot. They just haven’t spent years doing reality tv and making a name for themselves the way that Trump has.

Dyingbreed

Ya know sara it’s apparent to me that your a smart person. You obviously take your time and look into these people which is good. I can respect the fact you don’t like trump alot of people don’t and won’t. He’s not your typical candidate. He does say stupid things and has been mean to people. I think for me I like that he does that stuff right out in the open not behind closed doors. I’m sure all the same things are happening with other candidates and past presidents. He just seems like a real person to me not a robot standing up saying what you want to hear. He’s not afraid to stand up for himself and say what he thinks right or wrong. He’s hands down the one who can turn the economy around I don’t see how that’s arguable. It’s time for a change and if it takes an arrogant a hole to do it so be it. I think people are tired of politicians running the country into the ground. As far as his personal life and what goes on with his relations that’s his business. I’m sure you were a bill Clinton supporter he wasn’t any better.

Sara

Your last line made me chuckle, dyingbreed. I was a senior in high school when Clinton got caught with his pants down and even at that young age, I knew that the character and integrity of our elected officials was critical. I was not a fan of Clinton then and my negative opinion of that family has only deepened with each passing decade. We cannot continously advert our eyes from the personal lives of our leaders and expect that our society will not gravitate to the lowered standards set by their example. We are not dealing with just security or economic issues in our nation. We are facing the death of individual character and consequently, the soul of our nation, which is far more serious and much more difficult to recover from. While Trump speaks forcefully, dominating the debates and media with his aggressive words and tone, he lacks the moral underpinnings from which a great leader draws strength and consistency. That is why he can say one thing one day and something radically different one day, one week or one month later and then deny he has flipped on a position. Although i am not a fan, I have far more respect for Sanders, who has lived and breathed the same convictions and political ideology for decades. His message, misguided though it may be, doesn’t change depending on who he is speaking to our which state he is stumping in. That is a guy who has principles and won’t present many surprises if elected. Ted Cruz is another candidate with a very consistent message and a clear history spanning decades of fighting to return power from DC to the people. Although he is a Republican, he has not waivered in his war against the Establishment and he has very strong principles that don’t shift when the wind blows in one direction or another. When we look at who will be choosing the next couple of Supreme Court justices, I shudder to think of who Trump will nominate. Anyone who is concerned with the future of liberty for all in this country should be taking that into serious consideration when perusing the candidates. Anyways, forgive my ramble. I am passionate about these topics. The bottom line: character matters. 🙂 Thank you for the civil conversation, dyingbreed.

He was an inherited multi-millionaire. One thing I do agree with Rubio on is that if Trump hadn’t been born with a silver spoon in his mouth he’d be a wristwatch seller on the sidewalks of Manhattan. (Actually, that’s an insult to wristwatch sellers.)

I don’t like Trump because he contradicts himself almost every time his mouth opens. He’s not establishment and yet he’s been funding the establishment for years. Why wasn’t Trump making America great when he had the establishment in his pocket? I do realize that might take just a dash of logic to figure why that is.

Sara

No, some people don’t like him because he is a liar and has nothing in his record to point to that he is the strong conservative (or christian) that he claims to be. In fact, his record shows just the opposite.

CruiserSailor

Just one fly in the ointment. Trump, his corporations and LLC’s have gone through bankruptcy 4 times. Although he is very rich, he’s become that way through conniving, conning and milking the system. And as far as “lets see what a business man can do”, didn’t we try that with LePage? How’s that working for ya?

Dyingbreed

All I have to say is trump must be doing something right. Everyone can point out his 4 failed businesses but what about the hundreds of other ones that were huge successes? Do those not matter or you just don’t like him so you say it’s because he’s cheated and stolen.. don’t be dumb jealously gets you no where. He’s a great businessman probably the best. And lepage has worked fine for me actually. My family owns an operates a business in maine. He is for helping the small businesses so I have no problem with that. Just because he doesn’t want you home collecting a check for nothing doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy

anticon

“At a meeting of Republican governors [on February 20], Paul R. LePage
of Maine called for action. Seated at a long boardroom table at the
Willard Hotel, he erupted in frustration over the state of the 2016
race, saying Mr. Trump’s nomination would deeply wound the Republican
Party. Mr. LePage urged the governors to draft an open letter “to the

He is such a good follower. What Christie does he does. Good lil boy Liepage.

Later that evening Lepage endorsed Burger King. Like anyone in their right mind would vote for someone based on Lepage’s endorsement. Christie endorsed Trump only because Gov. Crisco wants to be the attorney general. Lepage will support anyone Christie tells him to. Lepage is a zero and can’t think for himself. If Christie told Lepage to endorse Hillary he would have.
